Heat Your Home Without Heating The Globe
Wood fire's are better for the environment. In terms of limiting net greenhouse gas emissions, firewood is generally more favourable for domestic heating than other non-renewable fossil fuel sources of energy. "One of the best ways to address climate change is to use more wood, not less. Wood is simply the most abundant, biodegradable and reusable material on the planet". (Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace)
Greenhouse benefits of firewood
Warm your home without warming the planet. Did you know that by using sustainably harvested firewood to heat your home you can help to reduce New Zealand's greenhouse gas emissions? Firewood can produce the least amount of carbon dioxide (one of the main greenhouse gases) of all heating energy sources. In fact firewood from plantations is greenhouse positive due to the carbon that is sequestered in the tree's root mass. The reason that sustainable firewood is so good for the environment is that all of the carbon that is produced during combustion is reabsorbed by trees as they grow. The only increase in greenhouse gas comes from the diesel that is consumed by trucks when the wood is transported. It is worth noting that even "green" energy generators such as wind farms, hydro stations and solar collectors create a lot of greenhouse gas during manufacture and construction
